Once, at my first job, the CEO of the company sent a group email in which he essentially lambasted my ability to do my job.
I wasn't even hired as a programmer, I was a data entry guy who learned how to code on the job, and at this point I was literally the only person writing code for the company. I regularly worked 12+ hours every day, and even though I had to learn practically everything on my own I was still getting things done -- at least, I would have gotten things done if the CEO didn't keep pulling me off of my projects to work on whatever his latest ultra-important-idea-of-the-week was. I was even working for an 8 hr/day, 5 day/week salary, putting in extra hours for free.
But no, my sacrifices and hard work weren't good enough in the CEO's eyes, and he chose to say that to multiple people in an email, including investors in our startup. I don't remember exactly what was said, but whatever it was made me so livid I couldn't do any work; every time I sat down to code, I thought about that email and it so infuriated me that I couldn't concentrate. It took me twelve hours just to calm down enough to get back to coding.
After that, I refused to communicate with the CEO except through my boss, the CTO.7 -
How do I know when I’m ready for a junior dev job? Currently I’m very familiar with syntax rules, data structure, I even created my first p2p app and I’m feeling more comfortable with server side programming and handling dependencies.
But I can’t like code blindfolded and I’m very slow and have to think very deeply and concentrate very hard before doing any minor thing.
How do I know??9 -
I started using GitHub for my codes lately, so instead of diving into the code, I make sure to mess with GitHub to have it available online, then I admire the design of GitHub, then I drift to YouTube, listen to music and can not concentrate. Then I open Facebook and tell everyone how hard my life is 😂3

I'm actually a Dev, mostly just a shell scripter who needs to support 500 servers which run our applications. I install the new versions and check whatever is wrong if there are customer issues.
One release weekend everything went wrong, Development had to make new builds on the fly with hardly any time for testing.
It took 18 hours with no break.
It was extremely hard to concentrate, but being in the Skype group with everyone and finally getting everything fixed was quite rewarding.
Everyone just opened a beer and we stayed on the call for about 30 more minutes just to relax.
I like our Dev team way better than I like my actual colleagues, who merely mess things up and call me for the smallest thing without even thinking.4 -
I love hard rock, heavy metal, thrash metal... But I can't concentrate listening Metallica or Slayer. I used to study with electronic music, but really I don't like this music. Finally I found a solution. I'm listening videogames soundtracks like Diablo or Ocarina of Time and I feel better with myself.
What a nostalgic feeling!!!3 -
Feeling so dumb right know.
I have a C# exam tomorrow (on paper) and i can't get my brain to think in code.
I can't focus, I can't concentrate. I don't remember things i normally know by heart. Is it just stress? (Everything is pretty hard atm, lots of stress, lots of problems).
What could i do? I'm pretty messed up right now...13 -
After I took some time off from work, I decided to accept the offer for maintenance of two projects. Those are from two old clients, so I think I will not stress too much, since I know what to expect most of the time.
The issue is, sometimes I have a hard time to keep concentration. In the past, I could work for 3h straight, totally focused, would pause for 20min for stretch, and then come back to work. Now I can only focus for 30min or 1h, and after a pause, it's hard to concentrate again.
There is a lot going on in my life right now, and I know the worry is probably distracting me. I'm trying to listen instrumental music, drinking coffee... But that's not enough. Somebody has any tip?6 -
Better ideas:
I love building stuff and when i have something that I'm really into, it's hard to concentrate on the boring stuff i need to finish first.
Sometimes i just need to do what i feel like doing, doesn't matter. No, i won't go to bed, no i can't do the other stuff, i need to do that!1 -
Fuck C# for real, like why in the FUCK DO YOU NOT AT LEAST THROW A FUCKING EXCEPTION WHEN I TRY TO CONCENTRATE A STRING WITH NULL, I SPENT 40 MINUTES DEBUGGING THIS SHIT JESUS FUCK
Edit, note: I'm having classes that return null when they don't find something. Why is it so hard for the fucking compiler to at least warn me or some shit!!!!!!!!!!!!10 -
How do you guys concentrate for a long time? Do you use a timer or what do you do. I get a hard time concentrating more then 30 minutes. After that it's hard to get back into the flow.2

RECOVERING STOLEM ETHEREUM WITH DIGITAL TECH GUARD RECCOVERY
As a professional football player in Manchester, my life revolves around training, games, and staying in peak physical condition. My focus was always on the game, but everything changed when I became the victim of a scam, losing $79,000. The financial blow was severe, but the emotional toll was even worse. I had always prided myself on making sound decisions, but being deceived left me feeling vulnerable, embarrassed, and overwhelmed. It was hard to concentrate on my training knowing I had made such a huge mistake. The anger and helplessness I felt were overwhelming. I spent hours researching ways to recover my lost funds, but most options seemed either too complicated or too good to be true. It seemed like every recovery service I came across required exorbitant upfront fees or made unrealistic promises, leaving me feeling more discouraged with each new search. For a while, I felt like there was no way out. Just when I was about to give up hope, a teammate reached out to me with a recommendation that changed everything: Digital Tech Guard Recovery. contact with WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886

At first, I was skeptical. I had heard of similar services before, but they often seemed too risky or unreliable. The idea of trusting someone again with my money felt uncomfortable. However, my teammate reassured me that Digital Tech Guard Recovery operated differently. They didn’t require any upfront fees, which gave me some peace of mind. With nothing to lose, I decided to give them a shot. From the moment I contacted Digital Tech Guard Recovery, I could tell they were different. Their team was professional, attentive, and genuinely empathetic to my situation. They took the time to understand the details of my case, patiently explained the process, and outlined a clear, transparent plan to recover my lost funds. There were no promises of immediate results, but the approach felt legitimate, and I appreciated their honesty and dedication. Over the next few weeks, Digital Tech Guard Recovery worked diligently, keeping me updated on their progress. To my surprise, they successfully recovered a significant portion of my lost funds. The relief I felt was immense—both financially and emotionally. I could finally focus on my career again, knowing that I had made the right choice in trusting Digital Tech Guard Recovery. This experience taught me to be more cautious in the future, but also showed me that there are still people out there who are committed to helping others recover from such devastating situations.5 -
